J.---
Remembering J
- It sounds like di-dah-dah-dah. Say it out loud as you listen, and learn the rhythm rather than counting dots and dashes.
- J has 4 signals: 1 dot and 3 dashes. It takes 13 units of time to send, where a dot is one unit.
- J is roughly the 23th most common letter in English. Morse code gives the shortest codes to the commonest letters, which is why rarer letters like J are longer.
- Swap every dot for a dash and every dash for a dot and you get B (-...). Learning opposite pairs together helps them stick.
